"Quirky, stylish and dangerous, director Zé Kielwagen created a controversial film that marries religion and absurdness, with dreamy sensuosity that is so at ease with its own mischief, Tongues of Fire encourages us to not turn away from our strangeness, but instead, lean into it to find our true selves." - Los Angeles Underground Film Forum
